Head circumference (HC) was measured with a tape measure. The transverse, anteroposterior, and oblique diameters were measured using a spreading caliper, and the cranial vault asymmetry index (CVAI) and a cranial index (CI) of symmetry were calculated; 76 cases were measured successfully. The above indexes were measured using a structured light 3D scanning system (71 cases were measured with success). Thus, in the end, the valid data of 71 cases were analyzed, and the measurements ofTranslational pediatrics2897-2906https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8649591biostudies-literatureA comparative study between traditional head measurement and structured light three-dimensional scanning when measuring infant head shape.PMC8649591Wu ZFMing LYang WLv KLPan QMFan QLChang QWang CJLi WZHe LHu BZhang YPfalseA comparative study between traditional head measurement and structured light three-dimensional scanning when measuring infant head shape.<h4>Background</h4>This study aimed to evaluate the correlation and consistency between traditional head measurement and structured light three-dimensional (3D) scanning parameters when measuring infant skull shape.<h4>Methods</h4>A total of 76 infants aged 3 months to 2.5 years old were included in the study.
